Dedication to Dr. Goulart

Dr. Goulart's career spans 25 years of service to the Mashpee community. On Thursday morning we hope she felt her incredible impact as the school dedicated a Peace Pole in her honor. The entire student body, faculty and staff celebrated her incredible career. With the Peace Pole, Dr. Goulart's impact will be felt for years to come.

Kicker's Cup Champions!

Last Friday, KCC's won the annual KCC vs QS kickball game put on by the PTOs. Thank you to everyone who played on both teams. Thank you to the Mashpee Fire for playing with KCC and the Mashpee PD for playing with QS. Thank you to Polar Cave for supplying ice cream and Andy's Market for donating waters. This event couldn't have happened without the support of our Parent Teacher Organizations at both schools. We look forward to next year as we defend our championship.

Diamondback Terrapin Turtle Release!

Tuesday, June 6th at 5:00 PM, will be the release of our Diamondback Terrapin Turtles at Sandy Neck! KCC families are welcome to attend. The exact address is 425 Sandy Neck Rd. in West Barnstable. There is parking in the gravel lots at the gatehouse, but it is limited. There is also a larger parking lot once you proceed through the gatehouse entrance. Anyone planning to attend should arrive 15 minutes early as parking in the larger lot is a little bit of a walk back down to the gatehouse where we will meet. We will leave promptly at 5:00 from the gatehouse. It is typically about 30 minutes for the release and the release spot is roughly 0.5 miles round trip. The sand is very soft, so sturdy shoes are advised.
